Seasonal adjutment of multiple series

[manthonisz]

Hi guys,

Wondering if someone knew how to seaosnally adjust multiple series at the same in EViews?

The User Guide gives instructions on how to do it for one series at a time but I have 50 series that I'd like to seasonally adjust all at once rather than doing each individually.

Appreciate any help you can give.

Regards,

Michael

Michael, try something like this. Create a program file and run. This is probably not the most elegant solution, but it works for me.

group tmp * ' or create a list of 50 variables
%sname="d"
!counter=1
while %sname<>""
%sname=tmp(!counter) ' Variable name
{%sname}.x12(save "d11") {%sname} ' seasonally adjust series is {%sname}_sa
delete %sname ' delete unseasonally adj. series to replace with seasonally adj. series
{%sname}={%sname}_sa ' rename
delete {%sname}_sa ' delete extraneous series
!counter=!counter+1
%sname={%vt}(!counter,1) 'determine to exit based on next cell
wend
